Many properties are located within a short drive – or even walking distance – of the sea, making beach life a natural part of everyday living.

Orihuela Costa is also one of the most attractive areas on the Costa Blanca for golf enthusiasts. The region is home to some of the area’s most renowned golf courses, including Villamartín Golf, Las Ramblas, Campoamor and Las Colinas. Several residential areas have been developed around these courses, offering green surroundings, open views and an active lifestyle for those who enjoy golf and outdoor living.
